Not just your daughter, but any girl over 1 day old and under 3 years and 1 day old. The reasoning is, it is ok because in that age range her hymen will grow back (thus she will still be considered a virgin) and she will still be worth 300 shekels for her marriage contract.

At the Yad Vashem, they have the names of 5 million Jews supposedly killed in the Holocaust. They also list the place of death, if known. Over 1000 of them died in Siberia (hmm), and many living visitors to the site today find their own unique names up there. I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

When I was in high school (mid 90s), I knew only one kid who had a heart attack. Nice kid, 15, rather overweight, and a really dedicated student (he was Indian). The official story was that he overworked himself studying and not sleeping, and just keeled over and died. I never heard whether he had an underlying heart condition, but it would make sense that he did. Either that or he had had too much caffeine to stay awake.

PDW is how I found this site. I lurked on TD, but after it became PDW, I was dismayed by all posts seemingly calling for violence. And then I saw one post shitting on GAW, and I thought, "hmm, I should check that site out." I've been here ever since.

I bought something off of ebay a year or so back, and the seller packed my item in an old Land O' Lakes box for american cheese. It has the Indian girl on it, and says "White American." It is actually pretty funny. I'm thinking about framing it.

I googled the phrase "white woman gives birth to black baby" and a quora result popped up, someone asking "if a white couple has produced a black baby..." Some of the convoluted answers people are making to explain this naturally are hilarious.

Try the William Davidson Talmud on Sefaria.org. i've found a lot of these things in there.

I'm sure they wouldn't like it if everyone started applying the same logic to them for WWII.

Yeah, especially since I would have had my loan paid off 4 years ago if it hadn't been for Sallie Mae's deceptive tactics with income-driven repayment (which they were sued for, if I remember correctly). I technically already paid more than the loan was worth, including all interest. So I'm not gonna turn it down if it comes. However, I never have good luck, so I'm sure my loan will be one of the few that won't qualify for whatever harebrained scheme Biden has come up with.

The interest is tax deductible, but there's a cap. Maximum $2500 a year in interest paid. So nowadays when I do my taxes I see them go down about $35 because of my student loans.

If Biden wants to forgive my student loan, I'll take it. Won't vote for him for anything, but I'll take the payoff. The amount of taxes I've paid over the last several years would cover the amount of my student loans many times over. It'll be like getting a refund.

Showed this to my husband...he is laughing so hard right now tears are streaming down his face.

You are absolutely right. And they didn't start WWI either. They were dragged into it by their treaty with Austria-Hungary. Love that youtube channel, by the way. Great stuff.

I have a WW2 history book printed in 1945. It only has 1 line in it about the Holocaust, doesn't call it by name of course, but does claim that Hitler killed millions of Jews. So they were printing that in books even that early because the narrative had already been established.

The concertmaster should've kicked her behind the knee to make her fall off the stage. First chair cello too for the other one. That would've been great.

Yeah, my oven has wifi. So I can turn it on away from home. Yeeeah, like I'm really gonna do that. I didn't want an oven with wifi, but most of the ones I could find on short notice have it. It's blocked from the network. It was spamming our phones with notifications every time I preheated it. Useless feature.

Bingo. My German is rudimentary, and mostly forgotten, but I know enough and I remember my grammar well enough that with a dictionary, I want to read an original German copy and compare it to a more modern translation. I bet they'd be very different.

Just watched the trailer of this...a couple of the "monster" enemies had "Clinton" show up above their heads.

My mother and grandmother thought Crisco was the greatest stuff ever invented. They both used it, as well as vegetable oil, in everything. Ugh. We also had to have at least 2 carbs in every meal (one always a bread, with margarine), not including dessert, and we weren't allowed to leave the table until we had finished everything on our plates. I have struggled with my weight all my life because of that crap in my formative years. I have thankfully broken through the programming in my Mom though, but it took a long time.

Yeah, that could get really out of hand counting invertebrates too...can you imagine any time your coral grows a new polyp you have to register it?

Besides the unsent one, the other one she posted is clearly typed in a font supposed to look like handwriting. She couldn't have one of her staffers just hand write a note? Lazy.
